What do we know about the problem in terms of its prevalence or incidence, and (if relevant) how does this problem relate to or intersect with other similar areas?

Part 1 (8 pages) : covers a statement of the problem or issue the policy is
trying to address, as well as the origins and history of the policy. What do we know about the problem in terms of its prevalence or incidence, and (if relevant) how does this problem relate to or intersect with other similar areas? What is the history of the policy: how did it emerge/develop and how has it changed or evolved over time?

Part 2 (8 pages): covers what is currently known about the policy
and whether or not it is effective. This paper will synthesize the current research
literature on the policy in order to make an informed judgment about whether or not, on the whole, the policy works as intended. Special attention should be paid to unintended consequences of the policy, if any, and the conditions under which they arise. This part should also include any current gaps in knowledge about the policy and an overall assessment of the research literature in terms of its strengths and weaknesses.
